per tutti i pos­ses­sori di pc e notebook della loro casa ha rilasciato (come fece già per ubuntu 8.04 e 8.10) la versione in DVD del Dell OS Factory Recovery 9.04 DVD ISO. Questa non è altro che un’immagine ISO contentente l’ultima versione di Ubuntu (LTS) rilasciata , in pratica contiene Ubuntu 9.04 con tutti i driver (closed) e altre feature non libere come plugin flash etc.. che vengono installati e configurati in automatico.

Vi ricordo le feature del recovery disc distribuito da DELL:

• You will have the Dell recovery framework put in place that allows you to do a recovery from a recovery partition.
• Flash will be pre-installed
• AMD or NVIDIA proprietary drivers will be pre-installed if you have an AMD or NVIDIA graphics card.
• Additional audio mixer volumes will be set to default at 100% (such as Front or PCM). Main will still be at 80%. Lots of Dell laptops audio is improved by this, and now the  full range of audio is controllable by the hotkeys.
• The system will be configured to use grub2.
